Application filed October 25, 1926, Serial No. 144,124, andv in Great Britain October 31, 1925.
This invention relates to reciprocating pumps, and its object is to provide a pump of this kind in which no clearance space between the end of the plunger and the end of the pump barrel is necessary.
According to the present invention, a reciprocating pump is provided in which the end of the pump barrel is constituted by a valve structure comprising suction and de livery valves adapated to open automatically at the alternate suction and delivery strokes respectively of the pump plunger, which structure is so arranged that the delivery valve thereof is pressed by spring means against a seating on the adjacent part of the pump barrel and the suction valve is pressed by spring means against a seating on the adjacent part of the delivery valve, the arrange ment of the pump being such that the ump plunger comes into contact with the ad acent surface of the valve structure at or near the end of each outward stroke and forces open the delivery valve against the action of the resilient means so as to completely expel the fluid drawn into the barrel at the preceding inward stroke.
In this kind-of reciprocating pump, as is well known, no clearance space between the end of the plunger and the end of the pump barrel is necessary, the plunger coming into contact with the adjacent surface of the valve structure at or near the end of each outward, stroke and forcing open the delivery valve against the action of its spring means so as to completely expel the fluid drawn into the barrel at the preceding inward stroke.
According to the present invention, we provide a reciprocating pump of the kind stated comprising a casing constituting a supporting base for the pump, .a pump barrel mount-.
ed on the said casing, and valve means comrisin a stationar structure and a movable structure forming concentric suction and demay be formed below the valve means. More over, in order to vary the pressure of the delivery valve and adapt the whole valve means for ready removal as aforesaid, we may provide a screw adjustment device adapted to operate on the spring means of the delivery valve. r V Preferably the valve structure comprises a delivery valve and a suction valve both concentric with the pump barrel and having their upper surfaces in the same plane, the delivery valve being pressed by spring means against a seating on the contiguous part of the pumpv barrel and the suction valve. being pressed by spring means against a seating on the ad,- j acent part of the delivery valve. A convenient form of the invention as applied to a vertical plunger pump is illustrated, by way of example, in the annexed drawing, in which Fig. lis a view of the tional elevation;
Fig. 2 is a side view of the pump (in outside elevation) and a housing (in section.) for lagging purposes.
Referring to the drawing Thevalve structure of the pump comprises a cylindrical sleeve 1, the interior. of which is adapted to constitute part of the suction passage 2 leading into the pump barrel 3. The delivery valve .4 of the pump consists-of a bevelled annular collar, formed outside and at the top of the sleeve 1, and, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, said valve 4 is substantially of the same diameter as the pumpbarrel 3. The suction valve 5 is formed by a mushroom piece of which the upper surface is normally flush with the upper surface of the delivery valve 4 (see Fig. 1), the suction valve 5- and de livery valve 4 being concentric with each other.
The sleeve 1 of the valve structure is slidpump in half-secrectly beneath the pumpbarrel 3 by a horizontal wall 7 forming part of a casing 8 which encloses the valve structure. The delivery chamber 9 of the pump is formed by the part of the casing 8 above the wall 7-, the suction able vertically in a gland 6 supported di bevelled edge 12 of the delivery valve 4, is I provided, the delivery valve being-held on this seating 11 by a spring 13 arranged out side the sleeve 1 between the valve 4 and a screw-threaded collar 14 adjustable on the screw thread 15 of the gland 6.
The suction valve 5 is slidable vertically in a s ider 16 formed integral with the sleeve 1 an is normally held down upon its annular seating 17 flush with the delivery valve e by means of a spring 18.
During the upward stroke of the pump plunger 19, the suction valve 5 is drawn upwards against the pressure of the spring 18, so 1 delivery valve 4, the suction valve 5 being held closed by its spring 18.
The stroke of the plunger 19 is such that slightly before the end of the outward stroke, the end of the plunger comes into contact with the plane or flush upper surface 20 of the valve structure, thereby completely expelling all the fluid between the said plunger 19 and the said surface 20. The valve structure, under the action of the spring 13, follows up the plunger 19 until the structure is brought to rest by contact of the delivery valve 1 with its seating 11 on the pump barrelS.
In order toensure that the valve structure does so follow the plunger 19, the spring 13 should have sufiicient strength to overcome the tendency of the fluid to pass upwards behind the plunger 19 and exert pressure on the top 20 of the valve structure. For this purose the 5 rin 13 is made in )ractice so that the pressure exerted thereby exceeds the pressure that would be exerted by the fluid on the area at the to of the valve structure representing the di erence in area between the upper surface 20 of said structure and the annular under surface of the delivery valve 4.
By means of the screw adjustment 14:15,
the valve structure along with the gland 6 can be removed en bloc from the casing 8 through theopening 21, which latter is normally closed by the fluid tight door 22. To allow the valve structure and gland 6 to pass through said opening 21, the collar 16 is first turned on the said gland so as to move downwards from the delivery valve 4 This downward, movement of the collar 16 releases the pressure of'the spring 13'on the valve structure so. that the same can slide down Within the land 6, thereby reducing the overall heig t of said structure and gland, and making possible their removal and subsequent replacement en bloc. The screw adj ustment-14z15 also enables small adjustments to be made in the pressure of the spring 13.
c i ng- 8, the housing 23 is provided with an opening 2 1 fitted with .a cover 25, by which means access is readily obtained to the said opening 21 and the valve structure, the lagging between the cover 25 and the door 22 being in the form of a rectangular plug movable with the cover 25.
l/Vith'the foregoing arrangement, it will be understood that since no clearance space is required between the end of the plunger and the end of the pump barrel, the fluid drawn into said barrel at each suction stroke of the plunger is completely expelled by the next delivery stroke. In this manner, a pumping action is obtained which is much more efficient than those effected by apparatus hitherto known. 7 I
It will be understood, of course, that the surface of the pump plunger adjacent the valve structure should be made to correspond with the upper surface of said structure, in
order that the contact between the two surfaces may be complete. 7
